Diamond-selling hitmaker Sam Hunt releases new song “Came The Closest” today. Hunt continues to master somber introspection and aching reflection with this latest tune written with Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne, which Hunt also co-produced with Zach Crowell. To the relief of his fans, Hunt has surprise dropped new music every few months including his recent “Women In My Life,” “Start Nowhere,” “Water Under The Bridge” and his latest country radio staple, “Outskirts.”

Came The Closest – written by Sam Hunt, Shane McAnally, and Josh Osborne
I cut my hair off, I wore a tie
Woke up at 7, came home at 5 for a while
I traded whiskey for Miller Lite
And I know your momma calls me polite
Mr. Right
Aw, but that ain’t right
‘Cause I always gotta know what’s behind the other door
I’m never gonna be that straight-laced Sunday morning man you were lookin’ for
Nobody’s ever tied me down in clapboard house
With some kids and a bed of roses
But you came the closest
We never married ’cause I never asked
I left the diamond under the glass
Someday you’ll be glad
‘Cause you’ll find somebody who shaves everyday
When your dad comes around
He’ll know what to say
I just ain’t that way, I just ain’t that way
‘Cause I always gotta know what’s behind the other door
I’m never gonna be that straight-laced Sunday morning man you were lookin’ for
Nobody’s ever tied me down in clapboard house
With some kids and a bed of roses
But you came the closest
Moving on is the only thing I know how to do
If I could’ve stood still then I would have stood still with you
But I always gotta know what’s behind the other door
I’m never gonna be that straight-laced Sunday morning man you were lookin’ for
Nobody’s ever tied me down in clapboard house
With some kids and a bed of roses
But you came the closest
You came the closest
